Hursh, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council AND ADULTS aim now is to not develop too many fat cells, in early life and then keep them a reasonable size. We really don't have the answers yet. But people who constantly must fight weight may have more fat cells than is desirable. When they reduce they merely shrink the average size of their fat cells. And, it is theor- OBESITY: INFANTS Two areas of research are among the newest theories that hope to solve the mysteries of of why people are obesity overweight. One area concerns the development of fat cells in the body; the other involves psychological influences that may cause overweight. Lets take fat cells first: Some of the vital development ized, the reason people usually of the fetus can only take place in regain weight may be that their the last few months before birth. Development of the brain, for example, could be limited in the does not fetus if the mother-to-b- e enjoy adequate nutrition. Certain nutritional inadequacies cannot be corrected after the baby is born. Women Gain More Now This is why pediatricians now recommend that pregnant women gain more during pregnancy than they were recommending a few years ago. It became apparent that too many babies were being and with other born under-weigproblems stemming from maternal malnutrition. At the same time, physicians do not want pregnant women to gain too much for both their own sake and for fear the fetus will develop too many fat cells. Similarly, pediatricians watch the weight gain and diet of babies knowing that if they arc overfed they will develop too many fat cells. Too many fat cells in his body could be a lifelong problem. Once developed, you never have less. The problem thereafter is cell to keep the fat cells you size have from becoming too big. In early life, and the diet is influential, the infant first develops numbers of cells only. Then, in a second stage, he increases both numbers and size of cells together. Finally, size only is increased. So, in pediatrics, the ht CHATTANOOGA TEXTILE CHEMICAL f All-Americ- re-enlist- ed IS WORKING TO SCIENCE All-Americ- Specialist Four Jay R.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL FIRE SAFETY MONTH tf?HE Robert S. Wright Robert S. Wright, owner of the B Bar Dairy in Lindon, has been awarded top prize in Utah for 1973 milk production according to Frank Fitzgerald, state president of the Utah Dairy Herd Improvement Association. The average production of Wrights herd was 19.043 pounds of milk per cow. Wrights cow, Rags, one of 147 Holsteins on the farm 75 of them purebred also won top honors in Utah County with a total of 24,770 pounds of milk and 719 pounds of butter fat in Earthquake in Nicarauga and drought and floods in India and Africa uprooted thousands of persons from their homes. CROP the Community Hunger Appeal or Church World Service, was able to provide essential food items to many of them because of American generosity. The West Central area of Africa called Sahel was hard hit with starvation following a five year drought, affecting six countries with some 24 million people. The nomadic tribes of the Sahel were dependent on livestock and date palms for their livelihood The waterholes dried up, grass disappeared, turning it into a desert like the Sahara just north of it, and the date palms were hit with bugs. Similar conditions have also affected Sudan and Ethopia in East Africa. CROP responded with its powdered milk, cooking oil, and baby food, and a high protein food supplement, typical of its response to disasters in many areas. Campaign funds were raised by the canvass of neighborhoods by volunteers, by Walks for the Hungry and fasts in which the friends gave participants so much per mile walked or food or hour without food. Farmers donated grain or profits from CorporaFriendship Acres. tions contribnuted food products and seeds, tools or cash worth fat cells literally are starving on a reducing regimen and screaming for more nourishment to maintain a larger size the result of a precedent set in early life. This might account, especially, for people who regain weight after crash dieting. Psychological Clues The psychological clues regard-in- g overweight include a theory that overweight people are more responsive to their environment, that is, to outside influences. For example, in research reported by Dr. Judith Rodin of Yale Universitys Department of Psychology, overweight and average-weight persons have been studied doing work such as proofreading. When they were in a quiet room, undistracted, the rate at which each person accomplished his task was measured. Gut when a tape of background music was played, efficiency dropped, especially among the overweight persons. The overweight person, in other words, is more distracted by the sound. He responds more to outside stimuli. This, according to the theory, explains his positive response to good smells and appearance of food, and of other people eating. It is,, for him, He cats too much and too often. He is overweight. When researchers learn more about all this, prevention may be possible. |
